I have your letter in my pocket
I read every line twice
storm’s coming in
I’m broken again
I knew you never were mine
how come you always keep me guessing
where you stay late at night?
those Brooklyn girls are trouble
I knew you never were mine
I guess I’m left empty handed
I guess I’ll drink another round
I’m just another clown in a small midwest town
I knew you never were mine
I’m just another clown in a small midwest town
I knew you never were mine

out in the country at the county fair
I met my baby with a red rose in his hand
in his hand, red rose in his hand
I said honey babe you sure are a sweet little man
he gave me a kiss, a kiss on the cheek
I looked at him, said that’s all I need
all I need, all I need
I’m a good little girl but you bring out the bad in me
we both started dancing to the local band
silver banjos, fiddlers in the air, in the air, fiddlers in the air
oh that old time music makes me let down all my hair
yeah that old time music makes me let down all my hair
so if you’re in the country, go to the county fair
meet up with your sweetheart and dance away your cares, all your cares
dance away your cares
and if the moon shines bright then you’re bound to find your happiness there
yeah if the moon shines bright then you’re bound to find your happiness there

Sunday driving barefoot love
sugar daddy you know I need your touch
but my house is haunted baby, can’t you tell
you better watch your step because I just might be your wishing well
hard-headed woman needs a sensitive man
I was born to hold your hand
but my house is haunted baby, can’t you tell
there’s nowhere to hide when you hear those silver bells
nowhere is now here with you
nothing to gain babe, nothing to lose
nowhere is now here with you
nothing to gain babe, nothing to prove
moon drunk lover let me in
out all night on the highway lookin’ for my kin
but my house is haunted baby, can’t you tell
you better watch your step because I just might be your wishing well
I’ll be your sweetheart if you’ll be mine
but don’t you know I’m gonna need some time
because my house is haunted baby, can’t you tell
I’m gonna hold real tight, hold real tight to your shirttail
nowhere is now here with you
nothing to gain babe, nothing to lose
nowhere is now here with you
nothing to gain babe, nothing to prove
nowhere is now here with you
nowhere is now here with you
nowhere is now here with you
nowhere is now here with you

I saw your man downtown
he was holding hands with Elizabeth Crown
is that your man, is that your man, is that your man downtown?
is that your man, is that your man, is that your man downtown?
if he were my man, you know I’d put him 18 feet underground
he sure is low, he sure is bad
he’s a devil lover baby, better turn your head
is that your man, is that your man, is that your man downtown?
is that your man, is that your man, is that your man downtown?
if he were my man, you know I’d put him 18 feet underground
go Sally go, run Sally run
go downtown get that 45 gun
is that your man, is that your man, is that your man downtown?
is that your man, is that your man, is that your man downtown?
if he were my man, you know I’d put him 18 feet underground

I’m crying, I don’t know what I’m crying for
sad song on the radio left me tangled on the kitchen floor
I’m crying, oh tears like a waterfall
these late September evenings can get a girl grieving when she never gets a phone call
I’m crying like a whippoorwill in the dark
can you hear my message, and do you know my message is for?
only the stars know my story
only the flower in my hair knows where I’ve been
only the stars know my story
and how the blues creeps in
I’m crying and nobody knows
mama’s a-sleeping, daddy’s out drinking
and there’s tears all down my clothes
mama’s a-sleeping, daddy’s out drinking
and there’s tears all down my clothes
